Importance of Preparedness and Safety Measures:-
Cyclones pose significant risks to life, property, and infrastructure. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals and communities to be well-prepared and take appropriate safety measures during such extreme weather events. Here are some important steps to consider:
Stay informed: Regularly monitor weather updates, advisories, and alerts issued by meteorological departments and local authorities. Pay attention to evacuation orders and follow them promptly.
Create an emergency kit: Prepare an emergency kit that includes essential supplies such as food, water, medications, batteries, flashlights, and first aid materials. This kit should be easily accessible and ready to use in case of an emergency.
Secure your property: Secure loose objects, such as outdoor furniture, signage, and construction materials, to prevent them from becoming potential hazards during strong winds. Reinforce windows and doors, and clear gutters and drains to minimize waterlogging.
Stay indoors: During the cyclone, it is advisable to stay indoors and avoid venturing outside unless absolutely necessary. If evacuation becomes necessary, follow designated evacuation routes and instructions provided by local authorities.
Avoid coastal areas: Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable during cyclones due to the risk of storm surges and high tides. It is essential to avoid beaches, harbors, and other low-lying areas until the weather conditions improve.
Cyclone Biparjoy is currently causing disruptions and posing threats in coastal areas. Commuters must stay informed about the cancellation of 67 train services due to extreme weather conditions and make necessary adjustments to their travel plans. By taking necessary precautions and following safety measures, individuals and communities can effectively mitigate the risks associated with cyclones and minimize potential damages.
